    Nice list.
    I like it because even the spammers tend to help me out. I have gotten legit requests from people that found me through a spammer. haha

    All those who right now think about joining Twitter, be aware of it as twitter is very addicting as well ... I was active (and I mean really active) there for about half a year with a private account, got pagerank 5 and had more than 5000 updates but honestly it is hard to let it go at the end of the day.

    I should really give this a try. I have been lazy. There is so much to do in order to promote your website. I don't even know where to start

    I have just joined twitter so I am hoping that I can have a lot of fun with it without getting addicted! I know some people that just can't seem to stop tweeting.

    Thanks for the appreciating words guys! :)

    Bohol: Thanks for the article link...interesting read!

    sumanhaldar: How many followers you got and more importantly, are THEY your target market?

    xojac: I agree it CAN be addictive, if you let it be ;)...although, i try to be VERY disciplined...only 30 mins a day and that's it and have got 4200+ followers in a month...to make life easier, I also use automation tools too!

    webster7:
    Twitter can be a great FREE marketing tool, if you know how to use it effectively...else it can prove to be a big waste of time!...I always ask myself, BEFORE starting anything new "what outcome do i want to achieve by using this tool and by when?"

    mindblaster: There are heaps of free & paid softwares you can use to increase no. of followers...chk these ones out to start with, its free: www.twollo.com and www.buzzom.com

    Trust that helps!...best luck with tweeting!

    Well, it's the last big thing. The next big thing could well be Meme...

    I still haven't caught on to Twitter..but as for it being the "next big thing"...it's the NOW big thing, in my opinion.

    When police are using Twitter to establish what happened in a report (see Shawn Merriman attack on Tila Tequila), then it has become pretty big.

    Twitter can boost traffic to one's site once maintained and used properly.

    just remember to actually use your twitter to interact with followers. don't just use it to post links to your site and definitely do not use it just to collect followers. if you use it the right way, you'll definitely see good traffic. :D
